New Zealand Says Community Spreading <br />of COVID-19 Has Been Stopped Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern revealed the news <br />several weeks after the country issued a lockdown. According to data from Johns Hopkins, coronavirus <br />has killed 19 in New Zealand and infected 1,469. Jacinda Ardern, via <br />news briefing Over the last few days, Ardern added that <br />reported cases have been in the single digits. According to Gizmodo, New Zealand will move <br />to "level 3" of its lockdown phase this week. At this mark, limited social interactions are <br />allowed past one's personal household. Certain businesses will also reopen <br />for non-contact delivery or pickup. As will construction companies and other <br />types of work that can function without <br />the threat of community spreading. New Zealand will then stay there for two weeks before discussions begin whether or not to move to level 2. Gizmodo adds that level 2 is when businesses such as <br />gyms and hairdressers can reopen with safety rules. Jacinda Ardern, <br />via news briefing
